Airbag wiring polarity
I'm swapping to a 3 spoke wheel and...as you can imagine the airbag won't plug in. My new single stage airbag has two yellow wires, and the OEM SC airbag has a yellow and blue. I have seen this question asked, but never answered. Which is which with the all yellow wires? Or does it not matter since they aren't color coded? Normally I wouldn't be too concerned, but these suckers are expensive, I'd hate for it to blow I tried prying the entire harness out of the SC airbag and it appears to be epoxied in, it doesn't budge, whereas on the new airbag, the connecter will come out of the airbag itself, but anyway, swapping the entire harness is out of the question.

Both of my airbags are single stage, but the newer single stage (GS300) has a different plug than the older airbag (SC300) I think the adapter was precisely for that, just to change the plug style, but it is no longer available, I don't think you can make a two stage bag work properly in an older car.

Ok, great, now back to the original question , What if you have a nice 3 spoke air bag, in the right color, in good condition, for a good price....from a '02 RX300, ( I searched for a while and never came across one from an '01) Everyone mentions the '01 RX as the holy grail, since the colors match, the airbag plugs in, the wood is correct, etc. There must have been a changeover from '01-'02

Well, since no one could answer this, and the one guy that said he had an old adapter to sell never responded to my offer, I just cut the old plug off the SC airbag and soldered it on my new one. It didn't blow and I was able to reset the airbag light, so I guess it's going to work
